After the top fixes
With the fix above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 42nd of 2,377 in Manchester, up from 247th.
What to fix first
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it
- No llms.txt no points, but worth doing
Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it
